The Scottish synthpop trio chvrches (creatively misspelled to help disambiguate them in web searches; clever, that) released “Lies” as a free download in May 2012; their first official single, “The Mother We Share,” was released four months later. Their debut album The Bones of What You Believe came out in September 2013.

Fun fact: Lead singer Lauren Mayberry has a four-year law degree and a masters in journalism.

Alternate fun fact: When one digs through every song ever recorded called “Lies”, some of them are extremely lame. Not this one, though. I actually like this one.

Lyrics:

Faster, faster, you won’t go far Shouldn’t leave, feeling faith, we both know why You got to show me, both knees, cold I lie Hold me slowly, hide me till I can fly Always we can sing, we can make time Old songs, flood and flame, you could be mine But you got to show me, both knees, skin and bone Clothe me, throw me, move me – till

I can sell you lies You can’t get enough Make a true believer of Anyone anyone anyone I can call you up if I feel alone I can feed your dirty mind Like I know I know what you are

Icon of symmetry, swallowing sides Fall down in front of me, follow my eyes But I’ve got to see you moving, waste no time Teach me, make me holy – till

I can sell you lies You can’t get enough Make a true believer of Anyone anyone anyone I can call you up if I feel alone I can feed your dirty mind Like I know like, like I know, what you want

Anyone anyone anyone Anyone anyone anyone Like I know, like I know, what you want Like I know, like I know, what you want

I can sell you lies You can’t get enough Make a true believer of Anyone anyone anyone I can call you up if I feel alone I can feed your dirty mind Like I know, like I know, what you want
